pretzel-peanut-chocolate-cookies-day-2-2022

By definition, a “cookie” is a baked or cooked snack or dessert that’s round, flat and small. Technically, these Pretzel Peanut Chocolate “Cookies” are cooked. Chocolate chips are melted. Although this recipe is better associated with candy, I’m calling it a cookie today. Salty, sweet, and super simple! Melt chocolate, mix in with peanuts and pretzels and scoop onto parchment/wax paper to set. That’s it! Day 3 is just as nice and easy!
